Starting your own personal workout program isn’t as hard as you may think and with the tips I outline in this post I think you’ll see that it’s actually quite easy.

The most important thing to remember when developing your own personal workout program is to not spend too much time on it as it it is something that should always be changing. As you body adapts to the exercise routines you throw at it you’ll have to adjust and change your workout routines to fight off stagnation.

The first thing you’ll want to determine is how many days per week you can workout. I’d recommend somewhere between 3-5 days per week. Anything less is not enough and anything more is too much. When you start to design your workout program you’ll basically want to work out each major body part at least once per week.

To get all of your body parts in you’ll have to combine some of them and here’s how I would recommend you do it if you were going to begin a 4 day per week personal workout program.

Day One

Quads (thighs), hamstrings and calves

Day Two

Back, Rear Shoulders/delts and abs

Day Three

Chest and Triceps and calves

Day Four

Shoulders, Traps and abs

This is known as a push-pull split in the bodybuilding world and it is quite effective. I normally recommend you work out for no longer then 45 minutes to an hour because anything longer and your body just really starts to under perform. It’s always a good idea to begin each workout with a good warm up and I usually recommend a good 15 minute cardio warm up.

Well there you have it. Starting your first personal workout program doesn’t have to be difficult. Stay tuned for more tips on how you can fine tune your workout program for better results.

Let’s talk a bit about some different fitness workouts you can do to carve out a rock hard mid-section and some of the benefits you’ll derive from having a chiseled six pack.

I’ve talked about interval training before on this Blog and today I want to talk about fitness workouts that blend an interval workout with some ab building exercises. Because if you really want to carved out some hard abs you’re going to have to work for them and an interval training and ab exercise combo is lethal when it comes to pain my friend.

Nine times out of 10 guys I start off my ab exercises with some hanging leg raises. That’s a great primer as it usually targets you’re upper abs and then you can move onto an ab exercise that targets your mid-section and lower abs.

I’ll usually do three sets of this interval training/ab exercise combo after a good thorough workout on the stair climber or something. I always begin with a 2 minute interval session and then move onto the ab exercise portion. Something about doing the cardio first and then hitting your abs just makes it a very productive workout sequence…

Not that a six pack shouldn’t be enough to get your butt in the gym but in case you needed it here are a few more reasons to slash some fat from your mid-section:

• reduce the risk of heart disease
• improve your bench press and strength in other exercises
• reduce the risk of diabetes

So there you have it. Hit your abs hard and and of course watch what you eat and start reaping the benefits of fitness workouts today!

Guys as far as personal fitness training goes there is nothing better you can do for your body and your well-being then working out with weights.

Believe me when I tell you that I’ve heard every excuse in the book from people and clients that would rather do pretty much anything else in the book then work out with weights.

Working out with weights is not easy, it’s hard and a lot of the time it can be painful but there is no personal workout program in the history of working out and exercising that can be and is more beneficial to your overall health and well-being.

Working out with weights burns more calories then just about any other form of exercise in the book.

Working out with weights will result in a more toned and hard body.

Working out with weights will result in an increased metabolism.

And working out with weights will also increase your mental strength and focus.

Guys I can go on and on about all the numerous health benefits that working out with weights would provide you but the best thing for you to do would be to get in the gym (after seeing your doctor) and get in a few workouts for yourself.

Your personal fitness training program doesn’t have to be extremely rigorous and you actually want to take it easy at the beginning because you don’t want to overly tax your body in your first few workouts because you may end up sore as hell and believe me that wouldn’t be a good thing.

Once you get your first weight workouts under your belt you’ll see that you want to get back into the gym and that you want to eat better and that you want to stay active and that’s why I recommend you just get into the gym, try it for a month and see if you don’t get addicted like everyone else in the gym.

Personal fitness training, eating healthy and staying in shape is all great but why not make the best use of your time and use weight training workouts to look as good as you feel in half the time?
